Eat shit, Nintendo. I hope you lose and experience the Streisand effect.

But that's all they are: guesses. The fundamental flaw in looking to history for future behavior is the assumption that each person elected to office has the same motivations, ideals, and philosophies.

They want to get elected, sure, but wanting to get elected isn't the same as desiring to keep that office. If I had the skills to run for office, I would be willing to sacrifice reelection to ensure good legislation passed, for example.

"No, see. It's 'climate smart,' because it makes us more money by being smart and advertising it with the word 'climate.' So, no harm, no foul?"

If it happens, do post to !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz. I know lots of people would be interested.

I don't have an interest in the underlying project, but the default setup for Openbox on Archcraft looks really nice.

Maybe it's the absurd amount of wealth concentrated in the top 10% that's multiple times more than the bottom 90% combined...? But, nah. I'm sure those economics will be trickling down any day, now.

What I disagree with is your implication that they will only ever act in their own interests. I do not know that to be true in the future (and neither do you), as not everyone is motivated by money or power. Enough politicians who see it as vital to the health of US democracy, and change will happen.

I'm not proposing that it will, only that it is far from a precluded possibility. As Boomers die out and retire, I have hope for the Millennials and Gen Zers who replace them.

That's cool. I agree that it's not as portable as some other options, but it wouldn't be able to do what it does if it was.

That's why there's still good options out there for everyone! It's a great time for gaming.

I would actually recommend Spiral Linux if somebody new wanted to go with Debian. It's the Debian analog to Endeavor.

I disagree, which is why I specified the word "progressive."

I don't blame you for getting lost. I listen to a legal podcast, because otherwise, I couldn't keep track of anything myself

Hey, that's good to know!

 

Now that late spring/early summer is upon us, there's increasingly more headlines about less rain in various places (recent floods notwithstanding). I'm assuming that's because water is evaporating and not returning to those places, but where is it going?

Is it arriving, now, in these bursty flash floods? Is it staying longer in the atmosphere and moving to new locations? Is more of it just staying in the atmosphere period?

 

Communicating trauma through art is fine, as long as you don't remind the Christian fundies that their beliefs and practices are a prime source of religious trauma for lots of people.

 

What are some good games you play that you think are good for extended travel (i.e. battery friendly)? Emulation and TDP-adjusted options count!

 

Far too often, lately, I see lots of people worried about the number of downvotes, or making preliminary justifications and requests to not downvote particular posts.

Me? I don't have to think about any of that. The content of the posts and comments determines their quality, not some artificial number that only represents whether people dis/like something.

Edit: Wow, a lot of people from other instances seem really offended that I don't like downvoting and seem a bit confused that I'd be thanking my admins for something I appreciate.

If you like downvoting, you don't have to move here. Enjoy your instance's features. Welcome to the Fediverse.

I think this is really the way going forward with portable gaming.

  • Lighter and smaller handheld
  • A large screen experience in a portable package
  • Privacy
  • Not having to hold the handheld device oriented to view it
  • Replaceable battery is a big plus too!

There is no mention of Linux as the OS but it looks as friendly to Linux gaming as any other AMD based handheld device beside the Steam Deck.

Hey Reddthat mods,

Is there a mechanism to report entire communities? I found one that appears to be

trigger warningpro-pedophilia
but it's the lone mod doing the posting, so sending a report will likely be ignored.

It's a community on this instance.

Edit: formatting

 

I was thinking about how I remember Maxis fondly, and I got to wondering what other people's experiences were like!

Is your favorite still around? Are they still the same, or did they "change directions under new management?"

 

Amouranth, the Kick streamer, is allegedly brewing beer with her vaginal yeast. It's an obvious publicity stunt to squeeze more money from her impressionable and "thirsty" audience.

Gross-factor aside, is this even possible? Is it analogous to brewer's yeast? Would this cause undesirable side effects or introduce undesirable compounds?
